isn’t this what you wanted?
time sure feels like it’s running out
just finish what you started
queen of nothing
wearing such a heavy crown
(ignore the bad anatomy and focus on the nice nice lighting)

“This is ridiculous,” I complain but put mine on.
Cardan looks at his reflection in the door of the microwave and adjusts his crown so it’s at an angle.
I roll my eyes, and he gives me a quick grin. And my heart hurts a little because we are all together and safe , and it wasn’t something I’d known how to want. And Cardan looks a little shy in the face of all this happiness, as unused to it as I am.

when cardan complains about people remembering him as a snake and how he could’ve always sat on a dark throne biting people who annoyed him had me blushing because jude sat next to snake cardan for a whole day. he even slept with her there. he’s admitting jude doesn’t and has never annoyed him. why am i so obsessed with them

Jude: never trusting Cardan even though he can’t lie (valid)
Cardan: trusts Jude with his whole heart even though she can lie (unhinged)

Cardan getting over his drinking and drug addiction from the first book into just drinking moderately in the last book is possibly one of the greatest "show and tell" examples in tfota.

I’ve got a stupid theory that Cardan is actually terrifying powerful as an high king.
I mean, Eldred was one of the most important and long lived king of Elfhame, and yet, most of his subjects were unaware of the strict bound between a king and the his reign.
At the coronation, the Folk were amazed by BUTTERFLIES.
In Cardan’s first year of kingdom, he raised an island.
He constantly manipulated plants, the earth, and even changed the castle!
In TPT, he turns the ghost into a tree with half a thought.
And yet, he now hates to be deemed scary, so “he leaves the fighting to his wife”.
I hope this isn’t invalidating for our Queen Jude’s strength, but for once, just once, I’d love to see Cardan going God mode defending/avenging her :)
